Marc Molinaro on Energy & Oil

Will explore fracking consequences in monitored testing

Molinaro dropped the f-word: "fracking." The gubernatorial hopeful said he'd back a "closely monitored" test of the practice. In 2014, Cuomo banned fracking--the use of horizontal hydraulic fracturing to extract gas and oil from shale rock.
Yet it's permitted nearly everywhere else in America and is booming. Molinaro isn't suggesting a blanket green light for massive fracking across the state. He just wants the practice to be considered as a possible option.
